Mornin Lord, got a minute?
I'd like to thank you for letting me get vertical one more day,
not that I would mind so much if you took me on my way
Another day to love my wife and kids and grandkids too,
to say "good day" to friends of mine, maybe tell someone about you
I want to thank you specially for the time you give me now,
learning to reflect on life, taking time to let you show me how
The younger years so busy chasing money, stuff and kids,
I needed time that wasn't filled, to reflect on things I did
I recall putting your name on things I did to impress my fellow man,
I only pray that something's left to pass your test and stand
I'm learning now how comforting to talk to you a while,
and not to rush in begging, hoping your answer won't cramp my style
Your patience is amazing, you've waited years for me to learn,
to listen to your voice that guides, much too often it was spurned
We both know I was covered in your blood and saved so many years ago,
but now I'm learning to snuggle down in your grace, and let love flow
So thanks today for being there, listening, understanding, and forgiving,
seems my heavenly sight grows stronger as my earthly sight grows dimmer
I may not hear what others say but; you come in loud and clear,
and I still love it when you tell me, "I am with you, have no fear"
